Admission includes access to audio tours, as well Railroaders: Jack Delano’s Homefront Photography, now through August 10, 2015. Exploring the little-known story of America’s railroad workers during World War II, this collection of photos from Office of War Information photographer Jack Delano chronicle the importance of railways to the homefront’s morale and livelihood. More than 60 photos–both color and black and white–take viewers from station to yard to car, telling the story of America’s transportation infrastructure and the vital role Chicago played as one of the country’s largest transportation hubs. In addition to the images themselves, visitors can dive deeper into history through interactive elements including subject biographies, a reproduction ticket window, and ambient sounds inspired by the noises of the day.

Admission also includes access to Unexpected Chicago, the exhibit that puts one special item from the museum’s collection on display for a limited run of two months. Past artifacts that have been displayed in this exhibit include Hugh Hefner’s little black book, John Hancock’s billfold, and a game-worn Scottie Pippen jersey from the 1998 championship series.

The city’s oldest cultural institution, The Chicago History Museum houses an awe-striking array of intellect-tickling artifacts, documents, and artwork from the city’s past and future-past. On any given day, glance at Stan Mikita’s jersey or venture through the hall of dioramas, which showcases epochs of Chicago’s history, from its earliest days as a malört-trading outpost to its triumphant World’s Fair, made possible by an uneasy alliance between Daniel Burnham and arch-rival Mike Ditka. The museum also displays rotating temporary exhibitions, such as Shalom Chicago, an exhibition about the local Jewish community’s history, and Vivian Maier’s Chicago, a local photographer’s images of Chicago in the 1960s and 70s.
